The company had firsthand experience with the quality and reliability of Supermicro infrastructure from previous integrations. As the foremost reseller of Supermicro in Australia, we were well-equipped to address their inquiries and needs. Leveraging our expertise, we crafted a tailored solution utilizing cutting-edge technology from Supermicro and Western Digital, delivering a high-performance data-processing environment at a reduced cost compared to Tier 1 distributors. At DiGiCOR, we meticulously designed a solution aligned with the company's budgetary and technical requirements. Throughout the project, we maintained exceptional standards of customer service, quality control, rigorous testing, and competitive pricing.

To meet the company’s requirements, a solution was based on a cluster optimised for Lustre parallel processing.

Understanding our client's business objectives and circumstances is paramount to us, enabling us to advocate for a leasing proposal for their solution. Given the value of their business structure, opting for a lease was the most cost-effective approach, leading to an overall reduction in capital expenditure. This enabled us to expand their systems from 8 servers to 14 compute nodes, comprising 3 production servers and 1 backup server, offering a high-density solution that saved space, enhanced performance, and incorporated redundancy.

We addressed the company's primary need for high-performance computing through a solution centered on parallel processing. Utilizing the Western Digital JBOD as an HPC caching server, configured for cluster parallel storage, significantly boosted write speed and file serving capabilities. This solution notably accelerated data workload processing, rendering jobs more productive, efficient, and expedient. Consequently, productivity and workload efficiency more than doubled, with tasks that previously spanned weeks now completed in a matter of days.

As a specialized small business, we provided the company with high-quality solutions crafted by our expert technicians and internal team. Additionally, we offered peace of mind through disaster recovery and backup support, ensuring seamless operations and data security.
